Archives A stop-work order was issued, effective Dec. 27, when the property Events Calendar owner rejected Metro’s final purchase offer. Negotiations were halted and project termination and closeout has begun. Research Center/ Library The property owner demanded approximately 400 percent more than Metro Cafe (pdf) the initial appraised value of the property, putting it out of Metro’s financial reach, according to Denise Longley, deputy executive officer Metro Classifieds of Facilities-Operations. Retirement Round-up The 21 parcels considered for the division expansion are located on Metro Info Mission Road and Gallardo Street, stretching from the south border of the division to Cesar Chavez Avenue. Action begun earlier to acquire Strategic Plan (pdf) the property through eminent domain procedures is expected to be rescinded at the January Board meeting. Org Chart (pdf) Policies Building up, not out Training Metro now will look at less costly and more fiscally responsible alternatives to operate the 100 incoming articulated buses, says Help Desk Longley. Intranet Policy “In the future, we will look at using our existing real estate to its Need e-Help? fullest potential,” she says. “We’ll become more ‘urbanized’ by building up, instead of out.” Call the Help Desk at 2-4357 She noted that transit properties in New York City and Chicago, where E-Mail Webmaster land also is limited and highly valued, have built multi-level transportation and maintenance facilities. “We may follow their lead, as real estate becomes more expensive in the central core of Los Angeles,” Longley says. Division 6 plans continue Meanwhile, plans to build a new division in West Los Angeles to replace Venice Division 6, as well as plans to expand Central City Division 1 and Non-Revenue Division 4 are continuing. The public comment period on plans for the new Division 6 ended Dec. 21 and the developer’s environmental consultants are working with Metro to consolidate the comments into the Final Environmental http://intranet1/mtanews_info/report/div10-expansion-halt.htm[8/24/2015 11:23:14 AM] myMetro.net: Metro Report Impact Report. Longley expects to present the Final EIR to the Board this spring. Division 1 expansion Metro has begun the first phase of construction – grading, paving, fencing and lighting – to expand Division 1 onto recently acquired property just to the south of the division, which is located at 6th and Central. By March, Longley expects the new site will be paved and fenced and ready for use as an expanded bus-operating yard. When Industrial Street, which runs between Division 1 and the new site, is closed and improved, the addition will total approximately four acres. A temporary auxiliary bus yard was opened in mid-December at Terminal 31 near the Regional Rebuild Center to operate additional consent decree Division 1 buses until the expansion is completed. Division 4 expansion A contract is expected to be awarded in January to clear and pave four acres adjacent to Division 4. That project, due for completion in June 2005, will expand non- revenue vehicle parking from 258 to 500 spaces. The extra parking will permit the consolidation of non-revenue maintenance facilities. | Home | Phone Directory | Forms Online | FIS Online http://intranet1/mtanews_info/report/div10-expansion-halt.htm[8/24/2015 11:23:14 AM] myMetro.net: Metro Report Home CEO Hotline Viewpoint Classified Ads Archives Metro.net (web) The Division 15 team focused on reducing Metro Bus accidents are, from left, Resources instructors Joanna Ricci and Robert Filan, Assistant Transportation Manager Ron Reedy, Instructor Michael Johnson, Transportation Manager Gary Spivack and Safety Instructor Ethel Fields.

Intranet Policy While other divisions’ accident rates went up as the weather turned poor and roads grew slick, the Division 15 team’s accident record not Need e-Help? only went down from the previous month, it was the best record in the Call the Help Desk Metro system. at 2-4357 E-Mail Webmaster For Reedy and the instruction team, it was the culmination of more than a year’s worth of effort to improve ongoing training for operators. First, the instruction department instituted a policy of accident check rides: Any operator with three or more accidents in a year, even if the accidents are considered unavoidable, has a ride-along from an instructor within three days of the last accident. A dangerous situation? “There may be something that the operator didn’t even realize they were doing that was causing problems,” says Reedy. “Or there may be a dangerous situation that the operator has no control over, that we can identify and work to get fixed.” Sometimes, identifying problems is simplicity itself: Using a map and http://intranet1/mtanews_info/report/div15-safety-1004.htm[8/24/2015 11:24:40 AM] myMetro.net: Metro Report pushpins, the instruction team can easily see where most accidents have happened, and come up with strategies to help minimize danger. Reedy’s restructuring of the instruction department also helped to stop duplication of effort and increase timely response to problems. When he started at Division 15, accident reviews took two-and-a-half months to complete. The instruction team set a goal to finish all accident reviews in two weeks, and met that goal. Now, most instructors are able to be in the field for the majority of their day. ‘Couldn’t be prouder’ “I couldn’t be prouder of this team,” says Reedy. “Ethel Fields, Robert Filan, Michael Johnson, Phillip Lockwood, Connie Lussier, and Joanna Ricci have all done a great job of turning this place around.” All the work has paid off. Division 15 has seen a constant reduction in accidents over the past year, leading to October’s win. It’s paid off in other ways, too: By having instructors do check-rides with operators who return from long-term sick leave, there have been no Workers’ Compensation-related injury relapses in the 13 months since the program began.

  • TCRP Report 37: a Handbook
    Case Study 5 Transfort Fort Collins, Colorado Compared to You A 22-bus system operated by the City of Fort Collins, Colorado, Transfort serves a growing city of 92,000, surrounding communities and the Colorado State campus. Designed almost twenty years ago to serve two primary markets – university students and transit dependents – the system was designed to try to serve as many of the potential origin and destination points as possible. "The system was designed to serve the entire area from the prairies to the city center. You could get to almost anywhere in the Fort Collins area but not quickly or frequently, and that was the problem." John Daggett, General Manager Though there were apparent shortcomings to this method, the system operated in its original configuration for approximately ten years. Ridership grew enough that the decision was made to make some major capital investments in the operation. As part of this program, a full-scale Transit Development Plan was undertaken. Until 1989, the system had conducted no market research and relied primarily on ridership counts and unsolicited passenger comments to determine what types of service modifications were necessary. The system's transit development plans were based on the same informal information, as well as normal political input. Their Research Program: Taking a Look At the Entire Operation The city decided to take a bottom-up look at the entire operation, including a major market research effort to look at what riders and nonriders wanted from the system. A multi-tiered research effort was conducted, including: ! Traditional rider counts and local metropolitan planning organization data.
